Abstract:
Recent advance in researches of alkane uptake by microorganisms was reviewed. To improve efficiency of bioremediation, knowledge of mechanism of water-insoluble substrate, especially alkanes, uptake by microorganism is badly needed. Powered by novel ideas and advanced techniques, more findings and conclusions were reported. Effects of surfactants on uptake of alkane, adjustment on cell surface properties and transport of alkane into the cells were discussed in this review, at the same time, evidences from analyses of cell ultra-structure and researches on cell chemotaxis were cited. There are still some questions in this area should be taken into consideration.
